Chapter 511: Half-Step Reincarnation
The massive, thousand-foot demonic hand descended with overwhelming force, casting a shadow of insignificance upon even great Profound Death stage experts.
At that critical moment, Lin Langtian's body suddenly erupted with resplendent Yuan Power.
Immediately, three immensely powerful flames—Nine Nether Flames, Vermillion Bird Heaven-Scorching Flame, and Chaos Devil Flame—formed circular patterns as they fiercely ignited within Lin Langtian's body.
With a thought from Lin Langtian, within just a few breaths, the three flames combined into a blazing sphere thousands of feet wide, appearing from afar like a scorching sun.
Lin Langtian's figure stood proudly at the very center of this blazing sun, resembling an ancient flame god.
The gigantic, evil demonic hand ripped through space, closing the distance instantly. Yet at this precise moment, the colossal flaming sun surrounding Lin Langtian began shrinking at astonishing speed.
In merely a blink, the massive flame sun had condensed to the size of a human head, floating quietly in Lin Langtian's palm.
Observing this scene, countless Profound Death stage experts present couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Each clearly sensed the horrifying destructive power contained within that seemingly small sphere of crimson-black flame.
Lin Langtian's eyes locked intently onto the fiery sphere. The sphere itself radiated in three distinct colors, its surface engraved with ancient, mysterious runes.
This sphere appeared as solid as crystal, glistening with shades of crimson and black, yet hidden inside was power capable of absolute destruction.
Since his previous battle with Earth Yuanzi, Lin Langtian had become increasingly skilled at creating and controlling this deadly sphere.
"Today, I'll let you, the so-called King-level Yimo, taste my 'Great Flame Divine Pearl'!"
As his words fell, Lin Langtian flicked his finger, gently launching the ancient and exquisitely formed fiery pearl.
Its speed seemed neither fast nor slow, but it transcended distance itself. With a mere flicker, it instantly appeared before the thousands-of-feet-large demonic hand.
Compared to the huge hand, the flame pearl seemed insignificant, almost dust-like.
Yet this speck of dust caused even the Yimo King's expression to change dramatically, a flash of astonishment appearing in his dark eyes.
Without hesitation, the Yimo King swiftly retreated, urgently raising thousands of demonic barriers composed entirely of surging demonic Qi.
Boom!
The fiery pearl collided violently with the demonic hand, instantly unleashing an indescribable wave of flames that distorted the very fabric of space.
Endless demonic Qi evaporated within a heartbeat. That once-overwhelming demonic hand instantly shattered under the terrifying might of the flame pearl.
Witnessing this, countless powerful cultivators from the Chaotic Demon Sea stood frozen, mouths agape in disbelief. Such a powerful strike from the formidable Yimo King was so casually neutralized by Lin Langtian?
Rumble!
The endless sea of brilliant flames surged wildly, effortlessly destroying thousands of demonic barriers in its path. Eventually, the aftermath pierced through space itself, fully enveloping the fleeing Yimo King.
Boom!
The entire world shook violently, the area around the Yimo King utterly collapsing into thousands of shattered spatial fragments. The previously thick demonic Qi was now entirely burned away.
The destructive power unleashed by the Great Flame Divine Pearl turned the impacted region into a dark void tens of thousands of feet wide, annihilating everything within.
At a safe distance, the surviving experts from the Chaotic Demon Sea gulped involuntarily, eyes wide in horror.
Lin Langtian's attack had truly terrified them. Not one person doubted that if he'd directed that attack towards them, everyone present would instantly have become ashes.
"So, this is Lin Langtian's true hidden strength. It's truly terrifying… No wonder even Yuan Gate suffered under him," murmured Tang Xinlian, staring in shock at his proud figure.
"That Yimo King… should be dead, right?" the elder from Flame God Temple murmured softly, observing the collapsed space. Even a freshly revived Yimo King should've suffered grave injuries from such an attack.
Tang Xinlian nodded slightly. Lin Langtian's devastating blow had stunned everyone. No one had imagined such ruthless decisiveness hidden beneath his youthful and handsome appearance.
Such a powerful strike—even a true Samsara-stage expert would struggle to withstand it.
All eyes nervously focused on the collapsed region. Suddenly, their expressions tightened sharply upon glimpsing a faint figure emerging from the depths of the destroyed space.
It was indeed the Yimo King!
But at this moment, his body was covered in countless cracks, appearing like a shattered porcelain doll, and his eyes glowed crimson with intense rage.
"As expected of a King-level Yimo… truly tenacious," Lin Langtian murmured, eyes narrowing slightly. Even Earth Yuanzi had nearly perished beneath the Great Flame Divine Pearl. Yet this freshly revived Yimo King was already exhibiting strength surpassing that formidable foe.
"Lord Yimo King, are you alright?!" The Heaven Chief shouted anxiously as he rushed forward alongside his two companions, bowing respectfully toward the injured Yimo King.
The Yimo King's expression was hateful as he glanced warily at Lin Langtian. Then, turning toward the Heaven Chief's group, he said darkly, "So, you are the pawns the Four Kings Hall placed within humanity. I thank you for reviving me."
Hearing this praise, the three chiefs briefly froze before breaking into joyous smiles. "You flatter us, Lord Yimo King. We merely fulfilled our duties."
Having betrayed humanity, these three chiefs were fanatically loyal to the Yimo race. Receiving praise from a powerful Yimo King, even greater than their own Yuan Gate masters, naturally filled them with excitement.
"Since you've performed so admirably, allow me to reward you," the Yimo King said, smiling strangely.
The chiefs exchanged confused glances, unsure what kind of reward awaited them. But suddenly, a sharp, excruciating pain erupted from their chests.
Lowering their heads in disbelief, they saw three pitch-black, evil spikes piercing through their bodies. These demonic spikes rapidly siphoned off the pure demonic power nurtured by the Demonic Seeds within them, directly transferring this energy into the Yimo King.
"Hahaha! My reward is granting you pathetic humans the honor of becoming my nourishment!" the Yimo King cackled cruelly, abandoning all pretense.
Clearly, he'd always intended to use these three as mere food.
The three chiefs rapidly withered into lifeless husks, their eyes frozen in expressions of shocked betrayal as their remaining life essence was entirely absorbed.
Observing this chilling scene, Lin Langtian's expression darkened. He'd initially wondered why the Yimo King had turned on his own allies. But seeing the Yimo King's aura strengthening, Lin Langtian quickly understood.
"So cruel… Yuan Gate wasn't only meant to disrupt humanity, but also to become nutritious supplements for these Yimo," Lin Langtian realized grimly. As someone who also carried a Demonic Seed, he easily comprehended this disturbing truth.
Unlike ordinary humans, Yuan Gate cultivators implanted with Demonic Seeds provided far greater nourishment when devoured. Essentially, they were living "recovery pills" designed specifically to restore the Yimo King's lost demonic energy!
"I can't allow him to keep recovering!" Lin Langtian thought urgently. Though the chiefs alone wouldn't fully restore the Yimo King's peak strength, allowing him to regain any more power would spell disaster.
Violent flames surged once more from Lin Langtian's body. A massive palm of Nine Nether Flames thousands of feet wide materialized, smashing ruthlessly toward the Yimo King.
Yet the Yimo King sneered disdainfully. "Demonic Shield!"
He conjured a massive black shield covered in sinister demonic faces, which fully absorbed Lin Langtian's fiery strike, though the shield ultimately shattered from the impact.
Taking advantage of this exchange, the Yimo King completed absorbing the three chiefs' energy, significantly boosting his strength. Then, smiling viciously at Lin Langtian, he ignored him and instead launched ruthless assaults against other surviving human cultivators, swiftly devouring them.
Lin Langtian desperately tried intervening but couldn't fully prevent the massacre. Within mere moments, the Yimo King consumed most of the remaining experts, leaving only Lin Langtian's immediate group unharmed.
Amid the slaughter, Ao Xuan hastily activated a jade tablet, vanishing instantly—clearly protected by a Reincarnation stage expert's power.
After a few more bloody minutes, only Lin Langtian, Tang Xinlian, Mu Lingshan, and Liu Da's group remained alive.
The Yimo King, vastly strengthened by his feeding frenzy, turned his cruel, blood-red eyes toward Lin Langtian and laughed malevolently.
"Haha, little human, let's continue our fight!"
His voice fell, and terrifying demonic Qi surged forth, forming violent tempests. His aura now pressed frighteningly close to the level of a Reincarnation stage expert!
